depends on what type of rig       try to keep carb level or you wont get all the gasin the bowls.    most ppl roll the axel    and also put a shim wedge in the bottom of the leaf for angle         they make them up to a 40 degree angle but cost ya

Wouldn't have to redo the perches just roll the pig up and shim it

if it's a DD, better give consideration to steering prior to wedging or rotating the perches.

also, as you drop the tcase..
you improve rear angle but increase front angle at the same time.

a better bet would be to get a clocking ring and rotate the tcase into position.

if i blocked the springs another 3'' would i have to lower the case any more? that would be like a 9'' lift

What there saying is that if u have the t case shimmed down 3inches then that's pushing it already.  Post up a pic of how u have the tcase in there now that always helps
